Lol no, California may be losing some people, but it's still gaining a lot more. My hometown in the Bay Area continues to build more houses as well as the neighboring cities. It seems like every year there are more and more people on the road. As someone who actually lives in California I can assure you that we aren't losing population.
no, but you've gotta at least acknowledge there's a significant domestic net outmigration that's hindering its growth
Seems to me like California's growth model involves replacing less well off people leaving with better off people coming in.
